For years, Dreckman has had a reputation as a hitters' umpire, a guy with a tight strike zone ... but he's not a base on balls guy. His aggregate BB/9 of 6.14 is actually one percent below average, putting him 45th out of 77. ... So Dreckman's reputation is undeserved. ... Dreckman also has a reputation in some circles as a hothead.

Anyone see Bruce Dreckman try to be the show on Sunday? First there was an awful call on a Chipper Jones swing where he clearly did not check. Chipper even started walking back to the dugout, but the umpire said he checked. Dreckman ended up throwing out Bruce Bochy and one of his coaches. It wasn't just that he threw them out, but Dreckman was actually the aggressor.
